All the ones I have had have 4 speakers, 2 in the door and 2 in the rear panel. Maybe MB61's original owner specified the extra speakers? At the risk of going a bit off topic here, I've recently been piecing together MB61's history, and the first two registered owners were car leasing operations. S...

Talking of 'standard' original audio kit, according to the MB wiring diagram, and common past experience, the MB came as standard with four speakers - one in each door, and one beside each rear seat. I've been digging around the rear panel, underneath the tailgate glass, and found two more speaker g...

3. Alloy wheel nuts Aluminium alloy wheel nuts were used on the Dolomite Sprint and they didn’t fall off? Not my field at all, but it seems on the Dolly forum that "The alloy used for wheel nuts is 2014 which is a hard alloy." This is from a thread (sorry...) where a member is enquiring whether he ...

I said earlier. eBay is awash with McGard locknuts, and they seem to be priced at £26 so a lot cheaper than I paid for my Cruize ones. On eBay, in Vehicle Parts & Accessories/Car Wheels, Tyres and Trims/Nuts, Bolts & Studs search for "mcgard locking 1/2 unf" and this will give you the ones. There is...

Hi Chris, could you put the ebay links up where you bought yours from, I've just had a look and it's a bit of a minefield for us less mechanically minded! Cheers Andrew I cannot find any McGard nuts on eBay at present, nor from any UK supplier on other sites. You can get them shipped from the US bu...

dunno if SWAMBO will let me try AutoAid, I'll report back after I've given them a call and asked about their 'loyalty' scheme :-) So many of us grew up in the days of "either the AA or the RAC" that we are naturally suspicious of the modern, new-fangled offerings with strange names we've never hear...
